BBC News Wrote:Dubai plans 'moving' skyscraper
The world's first moving building, an 80-storey tower with revolving floors giving a shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect says.
The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another.
"It's the first building that rotates, moves, and changes shape," said architect David Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference in New York.
"This building never looks the same, not once in a lifetime," he added.
The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor.
The slender building would be energy self-sufficient as the turbines would produce enough electricity to power the entire building and even feed extra power back into the grid, said the Italian architect at the unveiling of the project in New York.
The apartments, which will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, will cost from $3.7m to $36m.
There are also plans to build a similar, 70-storey skyscraper in Moscow.
"I call these buildings designed by time, shaped by life," said the Florence-based architect, who has never built a sky-scraper before.
"These buildings will open our vision all around, to a new life."
The skyscraper will cost an estimated $700m to build and should be up and running in Dubai in 2010.
"Numbers are not part of the real world; they're part of something else."

So in one week that would be Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays.
Add Karl Malden to the list

You might know him from classic films like A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront
This week is not a good one for celebrities.

I sorta freaked-out yesterday evening, wasn't sure how I would feel if I lived to be old and I was on my deathbed and I knew my death was coming. Then I played Demon's Souls until I fell asleep.

LOL demon souls....die and go to nexus? I'm not afraind of death due to old age...in fact that is the best death in my opinion. Worse for me is a slow and painful disease. You know when you die or before you do, your brain produces a chemical called DMT and you 'trip' on it?

Hemp, you know for all the sources you know, you could probably right a really good academic paper on this stuff. Something like "A Treatise on the Social Acceptance of THC as an Aid to Spiritual Awareness" or "A Dissertation on the Effects of DMT on Human Physiology".

Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe in the future, I still have lots of things to learn and experience. This may sound weird but this whole experience with RR and the hemp & 'drug' propaganda spewing i do in the forums is part of that experience i am gathering. It just pains me a bit that i am already going out of the country for a long time when i barely got to spend time with RR people. =/
